I'm an Anathema fan from the A4 days and have most of their albums, so when I found out they were coming to Australia, I was pretty excited.
Gig day and I find out a mate has a spare ticket, so it saved me $80.
The venue holds around 1000 and it was packed more than I had seen previous.
Anathema came onstage and from then on the crowd went nuts.
I have to admit that I didn't know a lot of the material as well as I could have, but enjoyed every song.
The sound was crisp clear and powerful, but not too loud. The lights were great and having the audience sings just about every word from every song made the evening even more magical.
